Description

Shatteringly crisp edges meet a velvety center in this sticky, glossy glaze chicken dish.


Ingredients

  • Chicken pieces (thighs or breasts)
  • Soy sauce
  • Brown sugar
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Rice
  • Green onions
  • Optional: cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry and season lightly. Dredge in cornstarch if desired.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high until hot. Lay chicken skin-side down and avoid moving it.
  3. Look for deep golden-brown edges before flipping.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and add smashed garlic and ginger around the chicken.
  5. Add soy sauce and brown sugar; allow the sugar to dissolve and sauce to thicken.
  6. Baste chicken in the glaze until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  7. Serve over rice and garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to maintain crispness. Adjust heat carefully to avoid burning sugar.
